O'Clock in the morning ON the way-frelght,
and returning at AS o'clock in the evening
of the same day. The schools were ad
dressed by DR.. A NJ Moore, of Blackshear,
and r. B. Reppard, of Savannah. The
occasion was a grand success from begin
ming to end. Presiding Elder Anthony
preached the closing sermon Tuesday night
of series of meetings which has been very
successfully conducted by Rev. j. 5. Stall

H. L. Cornell, of TaIlapoosa county, has
been arrested upon charge of setting fire
to the woods in that county. Cornell seems
to be having a rather tough time of it just
at present Sometime ago he was "a witness
for the government in some Illicit distillery
cases, and since then has been almost con-
tinually in hot water. Upon three different
occasions his home has been fired upon by
unknown men, and, while nobody has been
hurt, the severity of the attacks is shown by
the large number of bullets which have
been found embedded in the walls of the
house. Many had penetrated the walls and
were found in the bedstead and other arti-
cles of furniture. Since these attacks Cornell
has been afraid to sleep at home. 1t was in
this same neighbOrhood that the barn and
crops of a man named Rowe, the father OF
Deputy United States Marshal Rowe, were
fired by incendiaries. Another case is that
Of photographer named Partain, who was
suspected of having given information
against the moonshiners. He was driven
from the county and his outfit was des-
troyed. The warrant under which Cor
nell has been arrested is sworn out by
Ebenezer McWhorter, one of the men
against whom Cornell had testified in the
Federal courts. Cornell denies the charge
made against him, and has been released

this morning Senator Bailey then again moved
that the sessions be secret, and Senator Huston
amended that reporters Of each of the daily pa
pers be permitted to be present and 70 publish
reports of the testimony without headlines The
committee divided equally on this question, but
Senator French finally gave the casting vote for
Senator Illusions amendment, and expressed
himself as being in favor of allowing the civil
service committee to be represented by counsel,
which. however, remained undecided. After
this Mr. Foulke furnished statement to the
committee Of the sources of information of the
charges contained in their report on the hospital,
and added that since their report was published
a large number Of other matters had come to
their knowledge showing gross Encouragement
and corruption, and said if the committee de-
sired to inquire into these things they would be
happy to do all in their power to place the Sem
ate committee ia possession of the facts.

THE BASEBALL PROJECT.
Another Attempt TO Be Made to Raise the
Money They Need for Forming Club.

A number Of stockholders in the baseball
association met at the Bates House last night
to perfect the organization OF the club. ]. S.
Gordon was temporary chairman and Albert
Ovens secretary. G. W. Burnham reviewed the
visit of himself and Mr.. Newberger to Chicago
for the purpose of coming to an understanding
with Mr.. Spaldine. He also read a telegram
from Mr.. Spalding, saying that the meeting OF
the arbitration committee Of the League had
been postponed until Monday, at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon, and instructing indianapolis to
send delegates with power to act. He
said that nearly $1,000 was already
subscribed, and that only $4,000 more
was needed. OF the total amount
quired $4,000 would have to be placed in the
treasury of the League as guarantee that the
Indianapolis club will play. IT. after the end of
a year, the club finds that its business has not
been successful. the &c. 600 will be refunded to
the treasurer of the club and then will go back
to the original subscribers The remainder OF
the $40 900 raised by subscription, will be used
in securing the players. putting the club on the
road and paying incidental expenses. Mr.. Burn
ham said that there were twenty-four League
players ut liberty, and that fourteen of them
could be secured at moderate prices. and that
they were, too. extremely good Players and
would no doubt make formidable nine.
Mr.. Nathan Morris suggested that, as the club
had not vet filed articles of Incorporation. and
therefore could not effect permanent organiza
ton, it should consider the question of sending
delegates to the Pittsburg meeting, as the whole
success of the affair rested upon that. A general
discussion then followed after which it was de-
cided to appoint committee to make further
canvass for subscriptions. and it is to report at
meeting to be held at the Bates Houfe on Satur-
day night. This committee consists of Messrs
Brush, Burnham, Treat Bird and Gordon, and
will enter upon the canvass this morning

Tough Story About MONKEYS.

RICHMOND. KY. Feb 17-Mr j. B. Parkes. a
substantial farmer near Kingston. in this coun-
ty. has successfully trained a force Of seven
large monkeys to work in his hemp-ields, and to
break and prepare the hemp for market They
do the work quicker and better than the negroes
he formerly employed. and the cost is about one
fourth. 1t required about four months of pa
tent training to get the animals to understand
the duties required of them But now they
seem to comprehend it all, and perform their
daily labor with but little difficulty.
The monkeys were sent to Mr.. ParKes by his
brother, who is engaged in business in Cape
Town, South Africa, and who had seen the ami.
mails put to similar uses by the natives Of that
country.
Mr.. Parkes will send for about ten more, six
Of which will be sold to John G. Taylor, another
